4th of July...just a little late

I finally got my pictures from my other camera onto the computer!  Unfortunately I didn't remember to take my camera with me to most of the 4th of July stuff we did, but at least I had my phone. 
As I think I mentioned in an earlier post, we were hoping to go to Charleston for the 4th of July.  Korey had Thursday and Friday off so we thought maybe it would be a good time to go back and visit.  The more we got to thinking about it though we figured it really probably wouldn't be worth it.  By the time we drove the 9.5 hours there (most likely 11 hours with Konnor) and got some sleep, we wouldn't really have too much time to try and visit everyone and hang out before we had to turn around and drive back again.  So we decided going home to Brookville would be an easier trip and just as fun!
On Thursday the actual 4th of July, we went to Konnor's Great Grandma Brown's house for a picnic!  We had lots of fun!  Konnor did a great job entertaining everyone along with his cousin Emma, who we got to meet for the first time that day!  She was adorable.  It's hard to believe Konnor was that small not that long ago!
On Friday we went out to Deer Meadow Campground to my family's camper and had a picnic.  Konnor had fun hanging out and napping while we played some cards and ate.  We also got to go swimming!  Konnor loved the pool.  He stayed in long enough to make himself tired and then when we decided it was time to get out, he wasn't very happy! :)
On Saturday we went out to Korey's family's cabin and hung out.  We took the dogs with us and they had a blast swimming in the water there.  Konnor enjoyed sitting outside in the shade and visiting with family!  Later that night we went over to see my Grandma and then headed home so we could get up and drive back the next day.
It was a great weekend.  Busy as usual, but still great!  Hopefully next time we go home we can see some of the people we didn't get to see on this trip and maybe stay for a little bit longer.
Here are some pictures from the 4th of July weekend!




























Days 19-22

Isn't July over yet?  I definitely am sucking at this picture a day thing. At least I usually remember to take the picture. I just can't keep up with posting them. Well here are the past 4 days that I'm behind on...

Day 19
So the 19th is actually an old picture. I downloaded a new app for decorating pictures and so I figured I'd put up one of the old pictures that I was messing around with. The app is the A Beautiful Mess app. If you are interested in getting it just make sure you do NOT get the A Beautiful Mess Plus app. It looks the same but it's not. It's not the same even tho they make it look like it is and it's crap. I know because I accidentally bought the wrong one first. Ugh
Day 20
This is our new toy basket for the living room. It's not really new but it used to be in Konnors room and held diapers instead of toys. We like having it in the living room and it gives us a place to hide away all Konnors toys at night instead of placing them in a pile on the fireplace. This looks much nicer haha
Day 21
Is there a Cheerio on my head?  This guy is always entertaining. I think we will keep him :)
Day 22
I tried to take a picture of the moon because it looked so nice. I took this from the Kilby Cream Ice Cream place we love to go to. They have the best ice cream!!
Well maybe for the rest of the month I can keep up with posting pictures (probably not)!
Hope everyone is having a great July!!

Day 18

Yesterday I didn't take a picture. It was a good day though. We even went to the pool after Korey got home from work and Konnor had a great time. It did make us miss where we lived in Mt. Pleasant because we could just walk to the pool every night in our neighborhood if we wanted to. But enough about missing Charleston and back to now. So here is the picture for today
It's our lovely Keurig machine making a delicious iced coffee. I have now perfected the perfect iced coffee (even Korey likes it). So who needs Starbucks now!!  Ha...who am I kidding. If we still had a Starbucks right across the street I would be going there every day 😄

Day 16

My picture for today is of the Insanity booklet because yesterday I started Insanity. The first day is just the "fit test" so today was my first real workout. The first time I started Insanity I cried after the first workout and my abs hurt so bad I couldn't sit up haha. I was definitely not in good shape!  I did not cry this time but I am definitely sore!!  I'm excited to do the 9 weeks of Insanity before we go to Jamaica!!

Day 15

Yay I'm on time!  
It's a million degrees here today (actually 90). So I decided to lay out on the deck and read. Chloe decided she wanted to join me!

Day 14

Grr. So I definitely typed a post last night and was proud of myself for finally doing one on time again but apparently I didn't hit save or something. Anyway... Here is the picture 
After explaining the picture maybe it will also explain why I forgot to hit save haha. Konnor is very happy in this picture. I however was not as happy taking it. The picture was taken at 11:25pm after two hours of trying to get the little stinker to sleep. He's been staying up later and later and we are not sure why. The only thing I can think that messed up his routine was us going home. But that was over a week ago now. He sleeps great through the night but getting him to actually go to sleep is the problem!  We have started waking him up a little earlier in the morning to see if that will help. So far  it really hasn't but we've only done it a few days. He did eventually go to sleep about 20 min after this picture. We will let you know how its going as the sleep battle continues :)

Day 12 and 13

On the 12th our power went out!  It rained ALL Day which was sucky enough and then the power went out that night. So we got out our camping lantern.  
The power came back on in the morning so we were good to go!
The next day we pretty much had a lazy morning and then went to Lowes to buy some paint for the office!  Super excited to finally paint a room haha. 
Here's our before picture. Sorting through all our files to put away and getting ready to move stuff out to begin painting!
